Which 2 of the following best explain how the Grand Canyon and Mushroom Rock changed over time? A Mushroom Rock and the Grand Canyon were both formed from different types of erosion that took millions of years. B For both The Grand Canyon and Mushroom Rock, most of the erosion occurred at the bottom of the structure. C The Grand Canyon took longer than the Mushroom Rock to form due to the fact that the metamorphic and igneous rocks are more resistant to weathering and erosion than sedimentary rock. D The Grand Canyon and Mushroom Rock were formed due to water erosion, therefore the rate of erosion is the same. This means it took the same amount of time for both of them to form. E Since Mushroom Rock and the Grand Canyon are from the same type of biome, the rate of erosion was the same. This means that it took the same amount of time for both of them to form. \
